Necklaces & Chains FAQ
What chain length should I choose?
16 inches sits at the base of the neck, 18 inches falls at or just below the collarbone and is the most popular length for women, 20 to 22 inches is a common length for men or for a pendant worn lower, and 24 inches and longer drapes on the chest. Every listing shows the length.
What is the difference between 10K and 14K gold chains?
14K gold is 58.3% pure gold and has a richer yellow color; 10K gold is 41.7% gold, a little harder and lower in price. Both are real, solid gold and are stamped with their karat. Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver, marked .925.
Will my pendant fit on this chain?
Check two things: the chain's width and clasp must pass through the pendant's bail (the loop at the top), and the chain should be strong enough for the pendant's weight. Product pages list chain width and, where the supplier provides it, the bail size. A heavier pendant is steadier on a chain of about 2 mm or more.
Are your chains solid or hollow?
Both are available. The Product Specs tab shows solid or hollow construction where available. Solid chains are heavier and more durable; hollow chains give a bigger look for less weight and price but dent more easily.
